Yes, good afternoon from wisconsin. For john kasich it is fairly simple. At this point he and ted cruz have to stop donald trump from getting to 1237 delegates, the necessary delegates for trump needed to win at the first go around so theres not an open brokered convention. In that end john kasich went full throttle against donald trump earlier today in new york. He argued that not only is trump not fit to represent the Republican Party but he also said be president of the united states. As commander in chief and leader of the free world you dont get do overs. You need to be able to get it right the first time. Reporter as for donald trump, he is in washington, d. C. , today. Right now, today, he is huddling with his top advisors as it relates to Foreign Policy and national security. That team that he announced earlier this month.

Closing of the polls, not only did we project donald trump, we projected a substantial victory for him which has come true. John kasich in second, ted cruz in third place.

That was cute. Dont stay home in november. Vote for the people that you like from top to the bottom of the ticket. I just think it was an awful performance by someone who showed himself tonight to not be a man of his word. To me ....
